Flashing Sunglasses, a cool way to express yourself

Lighted Sunglasses have become a craze hit in many parts of the country. Originally they were designed using EL (Electro-luminescence) wire laid around the frame of the glasses. They looked great but had one major problem… They had to have a 2 x AA battery pack attached to the sunglasses via a power cord. So literally you had a power pack in your pocket, and the glasses on your head. Not to mention they are expensive, the cheapest place I just found them were selling them at $8.50 wholesale

This never seemed to convenient or ‘cool’ to have to walk around with a power pack the size of a beeper tethered to your head.

Instead we came out with the LED (Light Emiting Diode) Version!!! and these things are cool ! No more need for large battery packs attached with wires, but instead a small watch battery compartment behind the ear as part of the the glasses.


You can also choose the setting you want the lighted sunglasses to illuminate at, slow blink, fast blink, rotate, reverse, or constant on. And another cool feature is that you can have the lights in different colors (you can’t do that with EL lighted sunglasses).
